For the simple flash of some titties, Youtube has blocked the video from public view. When did titties become an offense?

This is Dusty Smith from deep in the bible belt of the Mississippi, and he don't take no shit from no damn god!

Like many people who have awaken to the bullshit that is religion, and that means all 4,000+ religions, Dusty has challenged the ignorant people who believe their imagination to be real, to do something magical to prove it, and to date none can produce. They all declare the usual crap like "god doesn't obey man" or "god does things on 'his' own time". It's all sensational rhetoric, but the gullible don't know that, so they keep preachers wealthy, of course, because it is 'the will of god' :)

Dusty has successfully turned his disdain for ignorant religion into a lucrative business, and the double standard christian hate him for that.

Al Jarreau was the quintessential musician and versatile vocalist who sold millions of records and won a string of Grammys for his work in pop and R&B as well as his first love, jazz.

And, he appreciated you completely.

To young people everywhere, especially the musicians he was grateful to meet at school workshops, musical competitions, residencies, and at concerts: From you, Al asks a favor.

‘Run’ has hit 1 million plays on Spotify and ‘Georgia’ is on 2 million plays Thank you guys so much for listening to both of them and I’m gonna be putting some new music on there real soon X.

Lady Leshurr

Melesha O'Garro born 15 December 1988, known professionally as Lady Leshurr, is an English rapper, singer, and producer. She is best known for her Queen's Speech series of freestyles, the fourth of which went viral in 2016. The Rap Game season 2 competitor Nia Kay stated that Leshurr was one of her influences due to her uniqueness and rap skill. Her subsequent freestyle, Queen's Speech 5, was called "brilliant" and "2015's crowning freestyle" by Spin.

Born to parents from the Caribbean Isle of St. Kitts, her first foray was into poetry and writing at age six but she decided that writing music would bring her to a wider audience, releasing her first mixtape at age fourteen. In her words:

I grew up around music. My mum used to play a lot of reggae like Sister Nancy and Bob Marley around the house so basically, when I was around six, I was messing about and doing my own little raps and songs. My family are all rappers and singers anyway so I was always involved in it from a young age.

In 2011 Leshurr played one of the lead female roles in Vertigo Films' 2009 film 1 Day. She won second place in the Best Female category of the Official Mixtape Awards 2011. To complement the music releases, she has designed a range of merchandise, the "Friggin L" clothing line named after her 2011 mixtape Friggin L. In October 2011 Leshurr was described as "the one to watch" by Paul Lester of The Guardian.

If you hail from the era of the late 1970s, these pop hits will stir some memories

Natalie La Rose is a Dutch singer. In 2013, she signed a recording contract with American musician Flo Rida's International Music Group imprint and Republic Records.

Natalie La Rose was born on 11 July 1988, in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Her parents are of Surinamese ancestry. She has a sister, with whom she would dance and sing during her childhood. She also has two older brothers, who are not dancers or singers. She graduated in 2008 at the Lucia Marthas Dance Academy in Amsterdam, where she had studied singing and dancing. In 2009, La Rose appeared in the Dutch musical version of High School Musical, playing the role Taylor Mckessie. La Rose cites Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Shakira, Selena, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Musiq Soulchild, Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston among her musical influences.

Some artists developed their craft based on music they were hearing in the household and many time, if the parents are musically inclined, it will be music of the parents youth, and that can be quite aged.

Amy Winehouse was such an artist. She performed new music with a 1960s twist and it was refreshing and made her popular. Lana Del Rey is on the same path.

The music combines jazzy beats with hip hop flair and 1930s kinda ballad. Her voice completes the era effect.

Faster than a bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.. it's..

Who needs all that when you have the gift of gab! Fluent, forcible, charismatic, elegant and persuasive. D'Angel exemplifies these outstanding characteristics, and as such, has achieved success internationally, in the face of adversity (aka bad mind). Her musical career along with her natural stunning beauty has attracted a massive eclectic fan base across the world, that has continued to stand by her to the level that she could one day run for government office and easily win a seat, simply because she is resilient, independent and determined.
